I For thi Amendment 41 —Against it 83. Mir. WI NMI allowed - that other duties besides :indi,:1•:11 may give a claim to public compensation ; contended that the Barons of the Exchequer in Scotland performed no adequate service of any kind rn cniitle them to the provision of superannuation. To make such a provision for them, was to provide a retreat 'from a retreat. The independence of these Judges was alreatly provided for. • Mr. -DUNDAS maintained, that 'the duty of the Barons of, the Exchequer in Scotland was the same as those of the Barons in' England and Ireland, and consequently entitled to a similar remuneration. The Question being called for, the House divided. . The Committee then went through the remain der of the Bill.—The Report to be received to morrow. WHABToN brought up the. Report of the Corninittee of Ways and Means on the Financial Arrangements. of the year.—The Resolutions were agree/ t., and Bills ordered accordingly. 1111 LITARYINQUI RY. The CHANCELLOR of` the EXCHEQUER rose to move for leave to bring in a Bill to revive and con tinue the Powers of the Commissioners of Military Inquiry. fle hoped there would be no objection to pass this Bill through all its stages as speedily as possible. A Bill forthis purpose had already passed both houses of Parliament in this Session,' hut . by some accident, it had been omitted in the Commis sion which had passed the Great Seal for giving the Royal Assent to Bills ;agreed upon by both Houses. In consequence of this omission, the Powers of the Cortnnissioners had e'xpired yesterday, and it became, necessary to have this Bill reVived, in order to con tinue them. The SPBAKER thought it right to make some ob.' servation on this case. It was contrary to the Con-. siittition that Bills agreed upon by both Houses should lie in the other House without being noticed, when a Commission from the Great Seal came down to give the Royal Assent to Bills so agreed upon. There being'no reason to suppose that the preient case happened otherwise than by mere accident, the present nicition 'Might be sufficient. After some conversation, in which Mr. PONSONBY thiggested the propriety of a special entry on, the Journals, and the SPEAr.g:a stated, that there was no Parliamentary knowledge of the fa6t, to ascertain which, so as to warrant, a special entry, a formal in quiry should be made in the Hous6" of Lords ; but that no irregularity would be seen on .the Journals of this House by proceeding Without a special entry, as this case would appear to be the same as, that of a temporary Bill to continue another, which other wise would have expired before the continuing 13i11 ;wild receive the Royal Assent. The Cllo=-1.441 of the Esc:RV:IOER offered Some observations to the same effect. Leave was given to bring in the Bill, which was passed . through first and second reading, through the Committee, and reported, and ordered to be read a third time to. morrow. _ _ _ 111 t. Ga l vrrAlt presented a Petition from the Grocers of publin, complaining of the prohibition from retailing spirits imposed on them,by the Ad Geo. W. and praying the,repeal of the said . Mt. Also a Petition from the Prisoners in the Sheriff's' Pll4Oll in Dublin. VACCINATION. Sir THOMAS TWITON presented a Petition from the Managers of the London Yaccine Institution, stating the effeCts of their care and exertions used kinder their direelion, in spreading Vaccine Inocu- . ' lation. The Petitioners prayed public aid, the In stitution having been hitherto supported only by vo luntary contributions. hie. FvLLeit aSSallled to Do6tor Jenner the whole credit, of the great discovery of vaccination, and condemned this Institution, as departing from Doc tor Jenner's supervision and that of the Itoyal jen nerion Society, to set up a sell of opposition shop for vaccination. l'he persons who had set up thieshop were discarded servants of the Royal Jennerian So ciety, and were no better than making way for'the return of the Smallpox by quack vaccination. He liad been induced by the plausible representations.of one of these persons, a Quaker, to subscribe five guineas to the Institution ; but when he discovered, the cheat, he threatened to take the fellow to Bow street as a SVVilidlei', and thus frightened him so as to teeke biro return the money. Sir THou,ts Tutermi tilt no resentment for the warm language of the Honourable Gentleman. He wished the Honourable Gentleman was in as perfed good humour *lib himself, as he and the House was with him. The Joiocriatt Society was not instituted till 1803. The original Cow Pox Inoculation So ciety was instituted in 1199. ,The Institution which the Petition related to, was established in 1806, he allowed .principally by a set of Quakers, a sect to whose moral and virtuous principles and conduel be wtis happy to -bear testimony— Since that time this lnsiitution had communicated the vaccine matter to 81,000 persons in every situation of life.' The Pe te-)ners desiitcl only to have the Ws `alledged in their Petition inquired into ; and hoped for public aid only in the event of their being found entitled to it on public grounds, and with u view to public benefits, The Petition was ordered to lie on the table. On the motion of Sir A. WELLESLEY, the Lords' Amendments to the Irish Glebe House Bill 'were taken into consideration. .On the suggestion of the Sreascart, who observed that one of the Amendments nanowed a money Clause of the Bill, the Amendments were ordered to be taken MI6 further consideration on this day three months, ,It appearing, however, that this Amendment was jn ,conlormity to the intention of the CoMmons in passing this Bill, Sir A. WELLESLEY obtained leave to bring in another Bill to the same efled. Alter a few prefatory observations, Mr.WesTeete obtained leave to bi ing in a Bill for the more effectual protection. of the Oyster Fishery. Rase 'ciderred his notice of a motion on the subject of Voccioatien until Thursday; His object was try eituitiish the evils which now resulted tram .the dissemination offipurious and improper Vaccine meter, by the establishment of : some central insti tution, from which the geneine,vires:should be dis t; dieted without expellee. If the House should ac 4ttiesee iii his motion, he should then propose to sub nit ate management of the institution to a cer- Len number of the College of Physicians. EAST INDIA AFFAIRS. My. CRZEV . EY. moved that there be laid before the iieuse a Copy of the Exposition of the State of die Affairs of the East India Company at home and. abroad, made by the Court of Direflors, and signed by their Secretary, Which had been laid before the Sele6t Committee on East India Affairs. This Ex position contained a very lamentable description. of the situation of the Couipany, .and very different frOm that in their subsequent Petition. Ile com plained of its not having been attached to the Re port presented to the House by the ComMittee. Mr. R. DUNDAS denied - that there had been the slightest intention on the part of the Committee to Withhold from the public this document. It bad been determined by the Committee to delay the prodnaion of it until their second. Report, as it re lated almost wholly to the Affairs of the Company abroad; - while the first Report related to the Affairs of the Company at home. After a long discussion, in which Lord A. Haniil ton, Mr. Wilberforce, Mr. Windham, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, ,Lordiolkstotic, Sir J. An struther, Mr. Tierney°, Mr. Ponsonby, and Mr. R. Thornton participated, Mr. Creevey withdrew his BANK OF IRELAND. The Order of the Day haying been read for the House to go into a Committee on the Bank of Ireland, Lord H. PETTY rose to make his promised mo tion on the subje&. He was anxious that every opportunity should be embraced to prove to the Ca tholics the disposition of Parliament to conciliate them, notwithstanding the circumstances that had so 'recently induced a large majority to refuSe to take their Petition into consideration ; hisobjea was to remove a doubt which at present existed on the subjea - of. admitting Catholics into the direction of the Bank of Ireland; and thus to act up to what be conceived was the intention of the Irish, Parliament in 1793. If it were possible to secure'the loyalty . of an individual to the Government more complete ly in one way than in another, it was by allow ing him to embark his property in its -service, and thus to create,in him an interest in its stability. 7-- After dwelling at considerable length on these and sithilar topics, he concluded by 'moving---" That it be an instruction to the Committee that they have the power to enable any person professing the Ro man Catholic religion, who is a natural born subje& of the realm, or who has been naturalized, and who is possessed of the stock' required by the Charter of the Bank of Ireland, to beconie.a Chairman or Di reaor of the Bank, provided stich person take the oaths and sub Scribe the declarations prescribed by 13, 14, and 33 Gem - Mr. FosTes. :said; that the Noble Lord, in the Amendment which he had proposed, bad professed to be - aauated by a desire of eonciliation : there was .no .Man more desi:ous of conciliating the Catholics than he was, but it did not appear to him that that, was the proper vi , ay of viewing thii subje&. The footing upon wlnch this business stood was simply this. When the Bank of England was established; it was thought necessary to demand a-test from those who were to be the pire6ters and, Governors, be cause their situation; as Managers of a great and wealthy Corporation, would give them the means of great influenee, which might be used in a way highly injurious to the Government : it was there fore essential that none but persons of loyalty should he placed in that situation. The Charter of the Bank of Ireland was copied from that of the Minket' England, and the Ciat..e now cotnplained of was copied as well as the rest. It did not originate from any intention to de any thing injuriowi to the. Catho lies • but those who framed the . Ch a rter of the Bar.k of Ireland, having found this clause in the Bank of England Charter, did not see reason why it should be rejeaed: Would any man tell him .that there was any thing in the situation of Ireland. at present which rendered it necessary to make this alteration in the Constitution of the 13:tok of Ireland, which it had never' been thought necessary to make in the Charter of the Batik of England, although it had been renewed eight or nine times ? 'This alteratiOn was not asked for by the Catbolics---it was not asked for by,the Proprietary of the Bank of Ireland—bnt the House was called on by the Noble cord to grant this as a boon to the Catholics, which they neither desired nor had solicited. He begged to ask again,' what was there in the:situation.of Ireland to wake an alteration which had never been proposed in Eng land ? Were they more secure in Ireland; or was there more certainty of the allegiance of the people ' there thanin England .? The House 'probahly was net aware that this measure of the renewal of the Charter had been twice ender th... , ,! - elisideration of the Proprietors a the Bank of : among those Proprietors there were n• many Catholics.— Upon those • occasions ation in the Charter was not pressed, it :2.a: , et ; - ,ned but as a thing not to be desired. Wouid it then be wise or prudent to make this alteration in a concern which had hitherto prospered'sovell nude'r its old Constitution ? This alteration would not, as had been stated, remove any item) this sobjeet;because there was no doubt ie the case : they could not be Direaors. This pro pOsition, therefore, was not to remove a,dontit, but to make an uncalled for, unnecessary alteration in the Charter of the Bank. It was not h.s wish to lay any new 'restri4tions upoir the Catholics; he wished to leave them exactly where he found them--- that is, exactly in the satne situation in whieh ihey were before the renewal of the Charter. - Upon these grounds be should resist the Motion of the Noble Lord. The CitANcELLon of the EX . CIIY.CCUPR spoke on the same side, obserVing that the Noble Lord was very much miitaken if he thought that by acceding to 'his Motion the Imperial Parliament would carry into etred the intiNtion of the Irish Patlianient in . 1793. , Mr. GRATTAN cpritended that the Catholics had petitioned to be admitted into the Direaion of the Bank that hp himself had brought in the .Petition into. the Irish Parliament; that the Parliament con ceived the AO they passed did admit the Catholics into the Dire6tion - of the Bank; that Mach at least was the opinion of the best Lawyers in Ireland on that subjett.
